We are pleased to announce the availability of Cisco UCS Integration Pack Suite 1.1.1 release.

Cisco UCS Integration Pack Suite is a unified installer which includes Cisco UCS Manager Integration Pack, and Cisco IMC Integration Pack. It installs the integration packs as plugins on Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager. It helps to simplify the server management tasks, such as hardware provisioning, operating system deployment processes on the Cisco UCS B, C, and E series servers.

Key Features in Release 1.1.1

Driver Management—Single driver management wizard to download drivers. You can create driver packages for both UCS Manager and Cisco IMC server which are required for OS deployment from the Configuration Manager console.

Power Policies Configuration—Support to configure Power Restore Policy, Power Cap Configuration, and related Power Profiles (standard and advanced) on the Cisco IMC

The SCCM appears functioning other than warnings about disk space being low for some of the storage devices on the VM and low available storage in the SQL DB. No Critical messages nor any other sign of dysfunction.

I am now seeing all kinds of SCCM error messages for Site_Something_Components. This SCCM seems fraught with the same problems from their original SMS product that was fairly useless. I am the author of the content that Cisco uses for the Microsoft Test Drives and I have spent quite a bit of time just trying to get these System Center components to work.

The UCS components are now exhibiting problems too. The SCOM MP 3.0 will not show any alerts. The SCCM component appears to have installation issues. Microsoft’s own updates appear to be the issue many times. I install an update to SQL and SQL stops working. I am using SQL Server 2012 R2 I believe with several updates (9?). But I think the November combined update to the OS kills the functionality of SQL Server 2012 R2. (.NET or WMI and locally signed certificates that are no longer accepted).

The Windows update on the computer running SCCM would no longer use the new Windows update interface to access new updates. I had to use the Windows Update app in Control Panel. I am running that now hoping any remaining updates clear the problems caused by the updates of November.

There seems to be an issue with the download APIs for the drivers currently. This is the reason you are not seeing any driver images listed for download. Can you please contact Cisco support team and submit a case for further analysis of this issue.

Meanwhile as a workaround for this issue you can download the required driver zip from cisco.com and use the offline driver zip option in the driver import wizard to create the driver package in the SCCM.
